I tried installing a new flip font apk on the phone but it is not showing on the list of fonts to change it to. Is there something I am missing to get this to work? Thanks

Let me clarify:
You installed a font changing .apk, and can't find it in the system settings>display>font type?
If that is the case, it wouldn't show up there because the .apk you installed should be in your app drawer, you would use that app the change your fonts instead of the system menu.
Or you put a font .ttf/.otf in the system/font folder and it doesn't show in the list?
If it is this one, I have a bunch in that folder that don't show up in the list either, it seems it only picks the stock fonts to display.
If you have tried using the font changing .apk to change the font and it isn't working, my guess is because LG lets you choose between multiple fonts it isn't using the default Android system font name (I don't remember the name off the top of my head) but instead using one of the custom font names.
If you want to change it yourself, you could try to replace the font you currently have the settings set to in the system/font folder with one of your choice (rename the stock font with a .bak at the end and rename the new font the same name as the old font, then make sure it is the same font your settings are set to).
All this is just speculation though, LG may have implemented the custom fonts differently, but I know they are in that system/font folder, so I think it could work. This is assuming you are rooted of course.
does anyone have detailed information about showing custom fonts in native font menu
I am trying to change my default font to one that will read a number of diacritical characters not covered by the default Nexus 7 system font. I have read a number of threads that offer advice that seems incomplete and am looking for someone's list of actions that will definitely do this job or that can point me to a definitive guide to doing this.
My tablet is rooted, running 4.2.2. I have been downloading apps and fonts:
ASK keyboard to show these characters,
Font Installer and
Type Fresh,
ASK Pali font file,
DroidSansFallback.ttf and
Dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33.
I had not looked into /system/fonts before now so I have nothing to compare its present population with, but it contains 41 .ttf files (Roboto, Droid and some others) and I have 21 Dejavu fonts waiting to be moved there!
I understand the default font is 'Roboto', but
what font will do what I want (have all diacritics)?
Will I need to swap between them in the normal course of events, and how?
Or rename some font to replace the default?
Is there a modifiable config file that names the default file?
Thanks for reading this far!
But what happened? Font Installer doesn't work for you?

The bottom line is that all the Droid (and Roboto) files are in /system/font but the (originally missing) diacritic characters are not accessible via the ASK keyboard which show only squares when pressed appropriately.
I have loaded the Droid, Dejavu and Roboto fonts into my Mac and opened them via its Font Book app. When installing 'Roboto', the Font Book reported an error: it was a duplicate of Droid Sans Fallback, so it seems that that is what Font Installer does. Pity this is not made clear.
The required characters are in there, it seems, but are not found by the keyboard. I'll contact the developer thereof now (he groaned).
Thanks for the nudge!
Hi all,
I flashed a new ROM, but I see in him only the default font. When I look in the system folder - fonts, so there is about 30 fonts. How do I set a different font?
What's up everyone. I'm rooted and used iFont to install Comfortta, which is my favorite font. All the the system fonts changed, but the font of the google keyboard I installed doesn't change. The font does change when I go through settings to change the font, but the one I want isn't there.
Can I just copy the ttf file and then have the Comfortta font available in the settings/display/fonts??? Where is that folders?? I've looked and can't seem to get it.
Hello,
all my Symbols are gone.
My Phone shows letters instead of Symbols.
I´m using a rooted Huawei Mate 8 running Kang VIP Rom but this happened not until i´ve used a different Theme
I guess it depends on the system roboto Font.
What i´ve tried so far without sulution:
I´ve flashed Rom several times
changed Font with iFont
overwrite Font in system/font Folder with Standard Roboto font
tried the "Fix for packages with unsupported symbols or boxes"
Some Pics how it looks like on my Phone.
Any ideas??
